I thought Erica Jong's Fear of Flying was one of the biggest pieces of crap that I've ever read in my life.

My greatest fear is feeling like a professional novelist. Somebody who creates characters who sits down and has pieces of paper taped to the wall - what's going to happen in this scene or this act. What I like is for it to be a much more scary sloppy reflection of who I am.

A fellow oughtn't to let his family property go to pieces.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

So if I have two pieces of cake do I have twice as good an experience as the first piece of cake? One of the things I've found in life is that the first piece of cake is the best.

Masterpieces are not single and solitary births they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common of thinking by the body of the people so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.

The world we build tomorrow is born in the stories we tell our children today. Politics moves the pieces. Education changes the game.

As a child our dreams got scattered all about and all our future prospects got scattered to so many places and we spend our lives trying to find the little pieces that make up our lives and make up the dreams that we had as a child that got blown away in the windstorm.

I brought a lot of my own pieces of clothes to the design room when I first met with the design team just so they could see what my style was like.

Designing is my hobby. If I didn't do what I do for a living - at some point when I don't do this for a living - I'll probably just do design work. I love finding really special pieces of furniture.
